Deuteronomy 13:10 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 13:10

And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die
It was not sufficient to answer the end of the law to cast a few stones at him, but he was to be stoned to death:

because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God;
to compel by force of argument, or the dint of persuasion, to relinquish the profession of the true God, faith in him, and the worship of him:

which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
which aggravated the sin of the enticer, and would have made the sin of the enticed the more heinous had he fallen into it.

9 sed statim interficies sit primum manus tua super eum et post te omnis populus mittat manum
10 lapidibus obrutus necabitur quia voluit te abstrahere a Domino Deo tuo qui eduxit te de terra Aegypti de domo servitutis
11 ut omnis Israhel audiens timeat et nequaquam ultra faciat quippiam huius rei simile
12 si audieris in una urbium tuarum quas Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi ad habitandum dicentes aliquos
